Patented Sept. 123, 1930 UNITED STATES .PATENT ferries LUTHER E. BATES, or CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AssIGNoR 'ro MoRfroN MiiNUFAc'rUitING C01VIPANY,'OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, Y.AV CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS Doon MOUNTING non eABINnrs ANDl THELIKE Application le'drFebrnary 18, 1929. `Serial No. 340,753.

The invention relates to an improved' door mounting for cabinets and the like and has for its primary object the provision of an improved constructionA of this character capable of economical manufacture and highly efficient in use. f f

Another object of the invention is the provision lof anv improved construction of this character having. special provision for the 10 ready removal or detachment of the door.

Other-objects will appear hereinafter. The invention consists in the combination and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed. Y

The invention will be best understood by reference to the' accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which:

Fig'. 1 is a perspective view of a cabinet 24) equipped with a door having' a mounting embodying the invention.

` Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. y i Fig. 3 is an edge view of the door detached. Fig. l -is a front of the hinge mounting 5 shown with the door detached.

`Fig. 5 is an enlarged section taken substantially on line 5-5 of Fig. 1.

Figis an enlarged section taken substantially on line (iw-6 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 7 is an enlarged section taken on line 7 5-7 of Fig. 2. y

F ig. 8 is a partial view similar to the upper portion of Fig. 4- but showing a slightly modified foi-in of construction.

Fig. 9 is a horizontal section illustrating the modification with the door attached.

The form of construction illustrated in secured to one sideof the cabinet 10 and eX- y `tends the full height thereof, projecting for-V wardly beyond the outer face of the cabinet as shown; A second hinge plateqat 12 is l hingedly connected at 13 with the plate 11 and is co-eXtensive therewith. The outer freeV or swinging portion 14 of the plate 12 is angularly bent with relation thereto and is provided with a plurality of headed studs 15 as shown. The door 16 is inhollow sheet 1 metal forinconstructed as indicatedwith inclined or beveled side edges 17 and with provjecting ledges 18 as shown. The beveled side edge 1T adjacent the hinge plate is provided vwith a plurality of key-hole slots 19 adapted and arranged toreceive headed studs 15 and. seiveas a detachable mounting for the door.

The outer face of the door may carrya suitable glass or other ornamentation.

With this arrangement a simple and effective and durable mounting is provided for the door 16. All that is necessary to remove the door is to raise it slightly until the headed studs register with the lower enlarged slots 19 when thedoor may be laterally moved to ldisengage the samefroin the hinge mounting.

The hinge mounting disclosed will also be found to be strong and durable in use and practically concealed and protected by the door and hinge construction. y y

In the modification 'illustrated in `Figs.

8 and 9 a slightly diii'erent forniV of headed stud 2O is attachedto thebeveled side 17'of the-door and keyhole slots 21 are formed in the angularly bent portion 14 of the hinge plate 12. This formof Construction is simply a reversal oftheparts already described and operates in substantially the saine Way with substantially the same effect. 1

. While l have illustrated and described the lpreferred form of construction, thisV is caf` pable of variation or modification without de'- parting from the spirit of the invention. I therefore do not wish to be limited tothe precise details disclosed but desire to avail` myself of such variation and modification as fall within the scope of the appended claims. n Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as'new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: y

1. The combination of a cabinet opening at thefront; a hinge plate secured to one -side of said cabinet and extendingbsubstan- A vtially the full height thereof; a second hinge plate hingedly connected to the forward edge -of said iirst-mentioned plate and extending substantially the full height thereof7 said second hinge plate being angularly bent; a

hollow sheet metal door member for said cabinet and detachably mounted on said second mentioned hinge plate, said door being provided with an inclined side fitting Said.

5 angularly bent portion of said hinge plate;

and a headed stud and key-*hole sl'ot connection y*between said beveled side of said door and said angularly bent hinge plate.
